Wood for Europe’s future: FP10 as the engine of decarbonisation and competitiveness
The European Wood Policy Platform (WoodPoP) has published a policy brief with recommendations for the next Horizon Europe programme 2028-2034 (FP10), calling for a stronger consideration of wood science, technology, and innovation across all pillars. Through dedicated investment and support of research, innovation and education, Europe can position its forest-based industries as global leaders in sustainability and competitiveness, which will strengthen the circular bioeconomy, and position wood at the core of resilient value chains and low-carbon construction.
The policy brief includes key recommendations to integrate wood-related fundamental, applied, demonstrative, innovative and educational approaches into the next Horizon Europe programme period and pathways to address specific challenges and opportunities of the wood sector.
Wood4Bauhaus members InnovaWood and InnoRenew CoE are active members of the WoodPoP Technical Working Group “Innovation and Research” (TWG 3) and have contributed closely to this policy brief.
